Barber and Vasa.

Vann and Soto? And, maybe AB Gomez, he wasn’t made a cardinal as would’ve usually happened. Besides the REC on the freeway that he permits, he seems pretty Catholic.

I think a moral issue can be raised about the sinfulness of violating mandatory evacuation orders. Yes, this deacon and his friends saved the church building. But in order to do so they violated the lawful authorities’ mandatory evacuation order.

Hosing down a building with water before an evacuation is even ordered when an uncontrollable fire is near is one of the best things to do.

Two minutes in “Moment One” is insufficient time to explore ideas in depth that might run counter to those of the organizers of this conference. Therefore it is presumptuous to call this process “conversation in the Spirit.”

Trump is well versed at dealing with middle-weight left-wing scolds. “Mac” will prove one among many and pass unnoticed.

McElroy: “the grave nature of sexual sin is a 17th century innovation.”
God: McElroy being a cardinal is a 21st century innovation.

It is better to be gone but not forgotten, rather than forgotten but not gone. Nothing worse than being ignored.

How can the grave nature of sexual sin be a 17th century innovation? Did Saint John the Baptizer, commemorated today as on all Tuesdays, die for nothing?
Deacon Craig Anderson ‘McElroy is a perfect successor to Cardinal McCarrick’ 2025/01/14

And opposition to the death penalty is a late 20th century innovation. But McElroy supports that wholeheartedly.

It was an innovation in doctrinal precision that the matter of sexual sin is always grave, much like transusbstantiation was a doctrinal innovation of the Middle Ages. Heck, filioque was a doctrinal innovation as was homoousios. There have been many, many doctrinal innovations for the sake of precision. That’s why we have a Magisterium.

Finding good hires is not enough. Even good people with good intentions are going to need guidance and support. I’d like to know how he got support and buy-in from all their pastors, too. You won’t keep good folks, if Father is adverse or indifferent.

Many women do not want to get married either because they have seen too many men cheat on good wives, sometimes multiple times, even when the wife is pregnant with the husband’s children.
Cheating men “Father Illo on family life’ 2025/01/14

Remember, Fr. Illo was speaking to a Catholic congregation, not to worldly people who reject Christ and are neither Catholic nor Christian. And oh, yes – Fr. Illo is correct – get busy, young man, and prepare for a responsible adult life as a mature Catholic man.
